I didn't know Liberal were as bad as Conservatives

10. I think in a lot of cases that is unfair.

I don't have an issue listening to a genuinely held belief which is contrary to my own beliefs and which is presented with proof and reasoned argumentation.

But I shouldn't have to listen to someone who lies or catapults propaganda shamelessly or claims to know things with absolute certainty that they can't possibly know.

We live in an age of propaganda and the defense against propaganda is not to listen to it and not to give a microphone to people spreading it. Giving a forum to flat-earthers just gives them an air of legitimacy which they do not deserve.

I don't think there is anything wrong with being intolerant of bigotry or disrespect or calls to harm other people.

People who support racism or pedophilia or homophobia or sexism or who deny climate change or a woman's right to choose should be drowned out and completely suppressed because it is 20-frickin-17 and these people have been just wrong for 75+ years. Their fallacious arguments have been revealed and countered and shown to be incorrect. And people who continue to pursue them at this point are time-wasters and liars, preying on the naive and ill-informed.
